So a unit from Maddat is the way to go?

Does anyone else no of anyone that does this sorta work with R31 axles?

He was also after datsun stud pattern and disk brakes, I dont think you get either with a hilux setup.

best gear you can get for r31 diff is 4.11 though
i would suggest a hilux diff, that way you have better LSDs and better choice of ratios around what your looking for

Thanks for your help guys... What are the sort of costs involved in a setup like this? i know i can get them from maddat but it sure seems expensive... i can put it together myself but i cant do the machining and cutting to get it to fit.

Is it worth it to get one from maddat?

Yeh they do have crap LSD's, but minispools are cheap or you can get lokka's or kaaz LSD's for them.
I suggested the R31 diff for its strength behind a ca18det rather than for its factory LSD's. Yes they are the same stud pattern as a 1200.

I dont think I would have anything

Aren't the Aussie R31 lsd's bodgie warner cone LSD? Cone LSDs are mud. I wouldn't have one for a wart on my cock.

Id agree with you but are the stud patterns the same?

Does anyone know what sort of price and so forth? What would a LSD be worth for a 31 axle? im thinking of sumwhere around the 4:9 ratio? is that reasonable? it will NOT be a daily driven car...

I wouldnt bother spending money on the h165, just bite the bullet and get a R31 diff shortened and get an LSD for that.

topgear is the man to speak to if you want an LSD.
